Dissilient
Manage episode 333498646 series 2492929
Dissilient is an adjective that means springing apart.
Our word of the day combines the Latin prefix D-I-S, for ‘apart’ with salire (suh LEER ay) which means ‘to leap.’ Here’s an example of dissilient in use:
We liked the old mattress at the garage sale, but soon realized why it was being sold for only twenty-five dollars. It was a mess. Not only was covered with dust, but it was dissilient, with seams snapping loose everywhere.
